I saw a great video where the OCer actually addressed the officers reason for stopping him.
OCer, "why am I being detained"
Officer, "we got a call about a man with a gun"
OCer, "Yep, that's a report of a LEGAL activity, why am I being detained"
He had to say it several times... and threw in some case law for good measure... but the encounter ended with the OCer NOT identifying himself and peacefully walking away from a baffled Cop.
A 911 call reporting a "legal" activity is NOT "reasonable suspicion" or "probable cause".
Officer, "well, you can't be a felon and carry that"
OCer, "do you suspect me of being a felon"
Officer, "I don't know you"
OCer, "that's OK... I don't know you either"... "why am I being detained".
